okay, so yesterday everyone was really nice about my sad, stupid little post about how my diet/exercise regime has been totally sucking lately…then i went to the gym yesterday and weighed myself, and i lost a pound. how the hell did i manage that not working out all last week and eating fast food? totally weird…

i haven’t been at the gym, and i haven’t really been following my self-perscribed diet. i don’t really have any excuses for myself either, other than a) there are just not enough hours in the day and b) healthy food is often costly as well as inconvenient. i plan to get back on track this week now that things have settled down again. i really, really hate that my gym closes at 8pm! i never make it. if i could work out at 10pm, my life would be awesome. and i wish that i had some freaking money so that i don’t have to depend on my brother to bring home fast food for dinner…

i finally feel like i am getting back into the swing of things. i lost a little more weight and i’ve been working my butt off at the gym. go me!

now that the initial excitement about the gym has worn off, i’m finding it difficult to stay motivated about going. don’t get me wrong, i do go…but lately i’ve been noticing things keep coming up that stop me from going. part of the reason is the gym that i attend closes so early - so if i have daily errands, forget it! and saturdays they close super early, sunday they’re closed period. i need to try and work it in no matter what, because i don’t think healthy eating habits alone are going to do the trick.

as for my diet, things have been okay. i ate italian last night and found myself unable to finish the serving, which is a good thing. i’ve been sticking to low-cal meals other than that and a few small exceptions. but like i said, i don’t seem to lose weight by just “dieting.”

i finally got back to the gym yesterday…i really did miss it. it doesn’t seem like i lost any progress either, so that’s good.

by the way, do you guys think there should be some kind of gym etiquette? it always gets crazy when there’s a lot of people, but some members make it especially miserable! there’s this one guy who works at least 10 minutes on every machine, which i’d be okay with except that half the time he’s just sitting there. it really throws you off when you’re trying to circuit train and you have this dude who won’t take a hint!

the other thing i hate is when the personal trainers come in and are training 3 people at once and have them all sit right next to each other and they keep swapping the same machines. they get a 30-minute monopoly on one whole side of the gym. couldn’t they spread out a little…? one day i had to miss every leg machine because they were on them all and i couldn’t stick around all day waiting.

my sunburn is finally easing up. i should be able to go to the gym tonight if my schedule allows. i’ve missed it so much! it’s been at least a week now… i also got paid today, so i was able to stock the house up with healthy food again. we’re back on track now, baby!

i’m still unable to make it to the gym because of this horrid sunburn. sweating definitely doesn’t sound appealing, not to mention i can still barely move. i’m really hoping this clears up this week…

got back from vacation last night. i was able to avoid many unhealthy choices, but i did slip a couple times. i won’t be able to see the damage for a couple days though - i’m so sunburnt that exercise will be impossible for a while. i’m pretty cheesed about that…but i’m not about to torture myself either.

okay, so i can’t exactly go to the gym while i’m vacationing, but i can still watch my food intake. so far it hasn’t been a complete disaster…i’ve been minding my portions for the most part and still making good choices. a few slips here and there, but nothing to fret about. i’ll be glad to get back on the eliptical again, but i’m trying to just enjoy myself. maybe i’ll get lucky and not gain any weight back…

so, yeah…remember all my complaining about not losing weight? for more than a week the scale didn’t budge. then i hopped on yesterday and saw i was 4 pounds lighter! how crazy is that? is that even normal?
